Interactive Voice Recognition on Youtube?


I recorded a (secular, but funny) joke, and named it "God Will Provide." The text I used to post to G+ was, "An old joke, my twist on the telling." The description, as seen on youtube was "Wherein God doesn't help those who don't help themselves."
I wasn't satisfied, so I edited the text, to read: "Wherein God helps those as helps themselves."

These are the only texts that could have been associated with the joke. 

When I viewed the video, youtube added a list of related videos. The related videos are about a wedding balloon crash, and an explosion sending a soldier flying.

Other links (to two "Common Room" web site, links,) related to known interests.
I don't write violent things. Violence is not a known interest of mine. This isn't a gay come on to a forlorn bachelor.
I suspect that the chances are, that the server was IVR'ing the words of the joke! What are the chances of this mix of results!?
